2.4 helix helical antenna
Referring now to Fig. 1-6 4 helix helical antennas are described.Fig. 1 shows 4 helix helix microstrip antennas 100.Antenna 100 is etched on the substrate 108 by radiant body 104 to be formed.Substrate is a thin film flexible material, is rolled into cylindricly, makes radiant body 104 around the cylinder axis screw winding.
Fig. 2~4 illustrate the element that is used to make 4 helix helical antennas 100.Fig. 2 and 3 is respectively the lower surface 200 of substrate 108 and the view of upper surface 300.Substrate 108 comprises radiant body part 204 and feed part 208.
Please note that this paper all is called " top " face and " end " face with two surfaces of substrate 108 everywhere.Adopt this title just for the ease of telling about, do not think the aspect-stabilized function of use regulation substrate 108 of this title.In addition, among the embodiment that tells about and illustrate here, antenna is described as and is rolled into cylindrically with substrate, and end face is that the method for cylindrical outer surface is made.Among other embodiment, substrate is rolled into cylindrical, and the bottom surface is a cylindrical outer surface.
In a preferred embodiment, microstrip substrate 100 is soft polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) thin layer, or is PTFE/ glass composite or other dielectric substance.Substrate 100 is preferably thick to be 0.005 inch or 0.13 millimeter.Provide signal lines and ground connection lines with copper.In the additional embodiments, also can select other electric conducting material Alloy instead of Copper for use according to expense, environmental consideration and other factors.
In order to discuss, radiant body part 204 has first end 232 of close feed part 208 and at second end 234 of radiant body part 204 opposite sides.According to the antenna embodiment that is realized, radiant body 104 can be etched in the bottom surface 200 of radiant body part 204.The length that radiant body 104 extends to second end 234 from first end 232 depends on the consideration in antenna feed point and other design, as the radiating pattern of needs etc.This length is generally quarter-wave integral multiple.
In Fig. 2-5, illustrate antenna embodiment with unlimited balanced transformation structure.In this embodiment, the radiant body 104 on the bottom surface 200 extends to the other end 234 with the length of radiant body part 204 from first end 232.These radiant bodies are drawn as radiant body 104A, 104B, 104C and 104D.In unlimited balanced transformation embodiment, by the feed line 316 on the end face 300 that is etched in radiant body part 204 at 234 pairs of radiant body 104 feeds of second end.Feed line 316 extends to 234 pairs of radiant body 104 feeds of second end from first end 232.In this structure, distributing point is at second end 234.Radiant body 104A contacts substrate 108 (at the reverse side of feed line 316) with 104D surface provides the ground connection of the aerial signal of feeding network being delivered to the feed line 316 of antenna feed point.
Fig. 4 is the stereogram of unlimited balanced transformation embodiment.The Figure further illustrates etched radiant body 104 on feed line 316 and the substrate 108.The appearance of feed line 316 being received radiant body 104 with connection 404 also is shown among the figure.In fact, connecting 404 does not really make as shown in Figure 4.Fig. 5 comprises Fig. 5 (a), 5 (b) and 5 (c), illustrates to realize connecting other embodiment of 404.The partial view that illustrates radiant body part 204 of Fig. 5 (a).According to this embodiment, radiant body 104 has joint 504 at second end 234.When antenna is rolled into cylinder, make suitable radiant body/feed line to interconnecting.For example, Fig. 5 (b) draws this connection with 5 (c), and its center tap 504 is converted into the orientation column heart.
In Fig. 5 (b) illustrated embodiment,, realize connecting 404 by with short conductors 508 welding (or being electrically connected) radiant body 104C and feed lines 316.Among Fig. 5 (b), feed line 316 is at cylindrical inner surface, so be drawn as dotted line.
In Fig. 5 (c) illustrated embodiment, the feed line 316 of radiant body 104A and reverse side is converted into the orientation column heart, overlapped, and be electrically connected at congruent points, preferably suitable feed line 316 is welded to the relevant radiant body 104c here.
Fig. 6 draws than the more direct embodiment of unlimited balanced transformation embodiment that has just told about.This figure comprises Fig. 6 (a) and 6 (b), and bottom surface 200 and end face 300 draw respectively.Among this embodiment, radiant body 104 is etched on the end face 300, and at first end, 232 feeds.These radiant bodies are drawn as radiant body 104A, 104B, 104C and 104D.Among this embodiment, there is not radiant body 104 on the bottom surface 200.
Because on first end 232 to these radiant body feeds, so do not need the desired balanced transformation feed line 316 of unlimited balanced transformation embodiment.Like this, this example generally is easier to realize, and can exempts the attenuation that feed line 316 is introduced.
Please note that the length of radiant body 104 is the integral multiple of λ/2 in Fig. 6 (a) and 6 (b) illustrated embodiment, λ is the wavelength of center of antenna frequency herein.In the embodiment of the integral multiple that this radiant body 104 is λ/2, radiant body 104 is electrically connected at second end 234.Form the cross-over connection conductor of second end 234 of ring-type in the time of can being rolled into cylinder by substrate around periphery, realize this connection.The draw example of this embodiment of Figure 16.In the another kind of realizing method, the length of radiant body 104 is the odd-multiple of λ/4, and radiant body 104 is opened a way on second end, 234 place's electricity, makes the antenna can be at centre frequency resonance.
3. branch line coupler
Adopt branch line coupler for distributing the simple and inexpensive means of power and directional couple.Fig. 7 single-unit arrowband branch line coupler 700 that draws.This coupler 700 comprises main line and divides support arm 704, secondary support arm 708 and 2 bypass branch arms 712 of dividing.Input signal offers main line and divides support arm 704 (being called main line 704), and is coupled to the secondary support arm 708 (being called by-pass 708) that divides by bypass branch arm 712.By-pass 708 1 ends matched termination impedance earth.The preferably some length of opening with 1/4 wavelength separation of bypass branch arm 712 are the section of 1/4 wavelength, thereby form the joint that girth is about 1 wavelength.
At output, main line 704 and by-pass 708 respectively carry an output signal.90 ° of this two signal phase differences.Two outputs all provide and are about half signal of input signal power level.
A performance of this single-unit branch line coupler 700 is that its frequency response is slightly narrow.The frequency response 808 that Fig. 8 draws typical single-unit branch coupler 700 by reflected energy 804.
In order to adapt to wider frequency, can make the binodal branch line coupler.Fig. 9 this coupler 900 that draws.The single-unit branch line coupler 700 main actual difference of binodal branch line coupler 900 therewith is that coupler 900 increases by a bypass branch arm 914.
Compare with single-unit branch line coupler 700, the advantage of coupler 900 is its frequency response broad.That is, reflected energy is lower than the frequency range of allowing level this scope greater than single-unit branch line coupler 700.The frequency response that Figure 10 draws typical binodal branch line coupler.Yet for real broadband application, binodal branch line coupler 900 is owing to meet with the level of reflected energy 804, still non-complete ideal in operating frequency range.
4. feeding network
Above saving the 24 helix helical antennas of describing and some other antenna all needs feeding network, to provide driven antenna radiant body 104 required 0 °, 90 °, 180 ° and 270 ° of signals.This save 4 described be to make some feeding networks of carrying out above-mentioned radiant body 104 and antenna feed line interface.By several elements these feeding networks are described: promptly, 180 ° of power dividers, single-unit (700) and binodal (900) branch line couplers.
Being used to a kind of element of required phase place is provided is 180 ° of power dividers.Referring now to Figure 11 and 12 this 180 ° of power dividers are described.Figure 11 comprises Figure 11 (a), 11 (b) and 11 (c).Figure 12 comprises Figure 12 (a) and Figure 12 (b).The principle of these 180 ° of power dividers is by changing the grounded part in conducted signal path, signal being changed into non-equilibrium signal from balanced signal.Figure 11 (a) shows the embodiment of 180 ° of power dividers 1100.Figure 11 shows two surfaces of 180 ° of power dividers 1100 realizing with micro-band technique, is drawn as substrate 108 transparent among the figure.For convenience of description, 180 ° of power dividers 1100 are described as have three zones: input area 1132, transition region 1134 and output area 1136.
According to shown in embodiment, conducting path 1108 is arranged on the end face 300 of antenna feed part 208.Conducting path 1108 is admitted input signals, it is divided into that the two-way amplitude equates but the signal of 180 ° of phase phasic differences.On input area 1132, on the conducting path 1108 of end face 300, be provided with the actual infinite ground plane 1104 on the bottom surface.As long as conducting path 1108 has the ground plane opposite with it 1104, the input signal that conducting path 1108 carries is exactly a non-equilibrium signal.Figure 12 (a) illustrates this principle, and Figure 12 (a) shows limited conducting path of width 1108 and the ground plane 1104 relative with conducting path 1108.Power line shows the electric power line chart between conducting path 1108 and the ground plane 1104.
On transition region 1134, conducting path 1108 continues, but ground plane 1104 is varied down to the width that equals conducting path 1108 substantially gradually.Figure 11 (a) and 11 (b) show this situation, and this partial graph is shown as gradual change part 1146 and returns conducting path 1109.Note that conducting path 1108 substantial registration on conducting path 1109 and the end face 300 returned on the bottom surface 200.In other words, conducting path 1108 and return conducting path 1109 along same longitudinal axis setting.
When input signal was advanced along the conducting path 1108 in the zone opposite with gradual change grounded part 1146, signal was from the non-equilibrium balanced signal that becomes.As grounded part and conducting path 1108 during basically with width (, conducting path 1108 basically with return conducting path 1109 and aim at), then signal is a balanced signal.Figure 12 (b) illustrates the cross section adjacent to the conducting path 1108 of conducting path 1109.Power line shows the electric power line chart between conducting path 1108 and the ground plane 1104 (part in present balanced signal path).The weighing apparatus signal path is by conducting path 1108 and return conducting path 1109 and form.
Because now signal is a balanced signal, thus equal the electric current that flows on the conducting path 1108 returning the electric current that flows on the conducting path 1109, but direction is opposite.Thereby, return 180 ° of signal inversion on the conducting path 1108 in the phase place of signal on the conducting path 1109 and the output area 1136.Therefore, in output area 1136, two signals appear, the signal on the conducting path 1108 (being called 0 ° of signal) and 180 ° of signals that produce on conducting path 1109.
For other circuit in antenna radiator 104 or feeding network 308 provides 180 ° of signals, can utilize through hole 1116 (perhaps plate through hole or other similar interface unit) that 180 ° of signals are incorporated on the end face 300, signal is continued on the conducting path on the end face 300 1110.On opposed surface (bottom surface 200), floating earth plane 1112 provides the unlimited ground connection of equivalence for the signal on the conducting path 1110.Note that this ground plane 1112 floats with respect to ground plane 1104.
For the sake of clarity, at Figure 11 (b) with an embodiment who itself shows bottom surface 200.The figure shows ground plane 1104, gradual change part 1146 and return conducting path 1109.Also show joint 1142 in Figure 11 (b), it is the extension of returning conducting path 1109, and this extension has been left conducting path 1108 and returned the longitudinal axis of conducting path 1109 along its setting.Joint 1142 provides and has returned the zone that conducting path 1109 is connected to through hole 1116, so that 180 ° of inverse signals are incorporated into end face 300.Though note that ground plane 1104 gradual change parts 1146, joint 1142 and return conducting path 1109 all to be described as discrete element, these elements can be arranged on the substrate with continuous electric conducting material.
Though note that conducting path 1108 and 1110 is depicted as to have consistent width, these conducting paths 1108 and 1110 width can change.Can require an impedance that reason is a regulating circuit of the change width of conducting path 1108 and 1110.In fact, in the embodiment shown in Figure 11 (c), the width of conducting path 1108,1110 is increased near this joining, and the capacity in this zone is increased, and has reduced characteristic impedance Z 0.
Figure 13 shows the circuit that is equivalent to 180 ° of power dividers.According to Figure 11,12 and 13 this equivalence circuit is described now.As mentioned above, input signal is provided on the conducting path 1108.In Figure 13, this is depicted as incoming line 1308.Interaction between input signal and the ground plane 1104 is the shunt capacitance of equivalence between conducting path 1108 and the ground plane 1104.This electric capacity is depicted as capacitor 1312, and it is produced by the little band of the low Z0 shown in Figure 11 (c).
At output area, the shunt capacitance of equivalence is arranged between conducting path 1108 and ground plane 1112, it is produced by the width of the conducting path in this zone 1108, is depicted as capacitor 1322.The width of same conducting path 1110 produces the shunt capacitance of equivalence between conducting path 1110 and the ground plane 1112, is depicted as capacitor 1324.
When conducting path 1108 and after the conversion when opening in 1110 minutes, but before their arrived on floating earth 1112, the signal of advancing thereon ran into the series inductance of an equivalence.This inductance illustrates with inductor 1314 and 1316.Conducting path 1108 in inductance value and this zone and 1110 length are proportional.Because this series inductance is undesirable, so should make this length shorter as far as possible.And being preferably in increases by an auxiliary capacitor on signal path 1108 and 1110 two ends, to offset this inductance.This auxiliary capacitor be by in transition region and near increase signal path 1108,1109 and 1110 width realize.In Figure 11 (c), illustrate an example.
Note that the ground connection 1332 (being ground plane 1112) on output floats with respect to input grounding 1334 (ground plane 1104).
For all 4 helix helical antennas as shown in Figure 1 can correctly be turned round, must be divided into 0 °, 90 °, 180 ° and 270 ° of signals to the signal of emission.Equally, also must be 0 ° that receives, 90 °, 180 ° and 270 ° of synthetic received signals of signal node.For this reason, be provided with feed circuit 308.In this section, the embodiment of several feed circuits 308 is described.These embodiment have utilized 180 ° of power dividers 1100 and the combination of the branch line coupler described in this paper the 3rd joint.
First embodiment of feed circuit 308 makes up 2 single- link line couplers 700 and 1 180 ° of power divider 1100.This embodiment is shown on Figure 14.According to this embodiment,, input signal is offered feeding network at a C.Then, 180 ° of power dividers 1100 are divided into two signals of 180 ° of phase differences with input signal, are called 0 ° of signal and 180 ° of signals.Each feed-in one single-unit branch line coupler 700 of this two signal.Specifically be 0 ° of signal feed-in coupler 700A, 180 ° of signal feed-in coupler 700B.
Second embodiment of feed circuit 308 shown in Figure 15 adopts 2 180 ° of power dividers 1100 and 1 single-unit branch line coupler 700.According to this embodiment, single-unit branch line coupler 700 is divided into input signal that 2 amplitudes equate earlier, the output signal of 90 ° of phase phasic differences.These two 0 ° and 90 ° of output signal difference 180 ° of power divider 1100A of feed-in and 180 ° of power divider 1100B.2 amplitudes equate because each 180 ° of power divider 1100 produces, the output of 180 ° of phase phasic differences, and two 180 ° of power dividers 1100 are output as 0 °, 90 °, 180 ° and 270 ° of signals.
Yet, notice that these signal sequence are not right.180 ° of distributor 1100A provide 0 ° and 180 ° of signals, and distributor 1100B provides 90 ° and 270 ° of signals.Therefore, in order to provide signal must shift one's position mutually by correct order to 104,90 ° of radiant bodies and 180 ° of conducting paths.
A kind of method of signal transposition is that one of this two signal is fed to bottom surface 200, passes through another signal up to this signal.In this position, the holding wire bar is etched on the bottom surface 200 as sticking patch.Be the light face of no ground plane around this sticking patch.Yet this light is in the face of the ground connection counter productive.Therefore, wish to keep the continuous ground plane, without any the face of tearing light open.
